Railway board members will not receive any bonuses for 2023. Deutsche Bahn CEO Richard Lutz will receive a bonus of more than 1.26 million euros.

The bonuses will be lower in the future because the calculation will be changed. payments for achieving short-term goals will account for 20 percent of the total bonuses. The much larger part for achieving long- term goals will only be paid out every four years. The general goals include punctuality, quality and the operating result of the railway.
